Reply #9: illigitimate state? [View All]

c'mon, it's a legitimate state. you're welcome to criticize its policies and practices as illigitimate, but the state itself is legit.

if they treated the palestinians as well as you want them to be treated, would israel become a legitimate state? based on a policy decision? that may be how the people in charge of the state achieve legitimacy, but that's not how a state itself achieves legitimacy.
